Pars City Manager RECOMMENDATION: DATE: 0CT 1 8 1999 FILE: SUBJECT: Commercial Facade Rehabilitation REFERENCES: City Commission Meeting of ENCLOSURES: October 26, 1999 It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission approve the attached resolution allocating $20,948.00 to the Downtown Miami Partnership, Inc., from the City of Miami Commercial Facade Treatment Program, for the rehabilitation of fifteen (15) businesses in the Downtown area. This is an ongoing project that has been funded since 1988, with great success, in terms of revitalizing small businesses serving low- and moderate -income neighborhoods. The total Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding approved for this City-wide project is $100,000. The recommended allocation of $20,948.00 will be applied against the unused project balance of $100,000.00. Please note that the Commercial Facade Treatment Program project is implemented on a City-wide basis, through community -based organizations serving each target area. Since the inception of the program, the City has assisted over 2,000 small businesses by renovating and painting their storefronts. BACKGROUND: The Commercial Facade Treatment Program was implemented pursuant to Resolution No. 88-384 during the 14t' Year of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program, to encourage economic revitalization within blighted neighborhoods in the City of Miami. Since that time, many business exteriors have been improved by painting, improved signage, and awnings, resulting in updated living conditions in the affected areas, enhanced neighborhood services, and increased benefits to the community.
